Beep & Atlanta Beltline Partner to Launch ATL Spoke: The City’s First Autonomous Transit

ATL Spoke delivers safe, connected mobility in Southwest Atlanta

ATLANTA, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beep, Inc., a U.S. leader in autonomous mobility solutions, today announced that ATL Spoke, a new autonomous transit pilot deployed in partnership with Atlanta Beltline, is now in service and open to the public. The ATL Spoke represents the first autonomous public transit in the City of Atlanta.

“As we seek to create an integrated and connected transportation network, ATL Spoke showcases the way innovative thinking can solve for the first-mile, last-mile connectivity challenges when we work with partners like MARTA, the Georgia Transportation Efficiency Authority, and Beep,” said Clyde Higgs, President & CEO of Atlanta Beltline. “This project is piloting the future of neighborhood mobility in a way that improves access to transit and opportunity.”

Beep has partnered with Karsan, a leading automotive manufacturer, and ADASTEC, a leading U.S.-based provider of SAE Level 4 automation solutions for buses and commercial vehicles, to deliver a fully integrated autonomous transit service.

The ATL Spoke is powered by AutonomOS™, Beep’s AV-agnostic supervision and management platform, enabling operators and agencies to deliver transit-integrated autonomous mobility services at scale, providing for vehicle and cabin supervision, fleet orchestration, and integrated workflow management through Beep’s operations control center.

“Atlanta is a forward-thinking city and an ideal place to demonstrate the potential impact of automated systems as additional tools cities and transit planners can use to address connectivity and access to traditional modes,” said Clayton Tino, President and COO of Beep. “Individual AVs can safely drive themselves, but there is still a need for coordinated operation and supervision. Our AutonomOS™ platform fills this gap by enabling operators to manage automated transit networks through a single pane of glass, incorporating AVs into existing modes in complex service areas.”

The ATL Spoke service utilizes four Karsan Autonomous e-JEST vehicles, a fully certified production vehicle platform with a 60-year OEM heritage. The e-JEST meets all federal motor vehicle safety standards and accessibility requirements, has successfully completed federal bus testing, and is backed by OEM warranty and series-production capabilities. Globally, over 10,000 units of the base vehicle have already been produced, including more than 1,000 electric versions operating across Europe, North America, and Japan—making it Europe’s leading electric minibus. This proven foundation enables the Autonomous e-JEST, automated by ADASTEC, to deliver real-world reliability, safety, and serviceability at scale.

“At Karsan, we believe the future of mobility is electric, autonomous, and intelligent. Together with Beep and ADASTEC, we are proud to bring a fully integrated autonomous transit solution to the Atlanta Beltline community. I congratulate Atlanta Beltline for its visionary approach and commitment to innovation, which have made this shared vision of sustainable autonomous transportation a reality,” said Karsan CEO Okan Bas.

The 12-month pilot—funded by the Georgia Transportation Efficiency Authority—will evaluate how autonomous transit can support flexible, cost-effective neighborhood circulation while complementing existing MARTA service.

The Karsan Autonomous e-JEST, equipped with ADASTEC’s SAE Level 4 automated driving software platform, represents the next step in intelligent mobility by combining transit-grade vehicles with advanced autonomous driving capabilities to deliver safe, efficient public transportation.

ADASTEC’s SAE Level 4 automated driving software platform, flowride.ai, together with its advanced sensor suite technology, has been proven in commercial deployments worldwide on open public roads. This technology stack delivers complete automated driving capabilities in mixed traffic, designed for fully automated operation without onboard human intervention. The system is designed to handle diverse driving conditions and maintain reliable operation under adverse weather conditions.

“ATL Spoke represents an important milestone in demonstrating how SAE Level 4 automated bus technology can move from individual deployments to coordinated fleet operations in a real public transportation network. With four Autonomous e-JEST vehicles operating in the same deployment, the project highlights the scalability of automated transit in a complex urban environment. By integrating ADASTEC’s flowride.ai platform with Beep’s operational expertise and Karsan’s proven e-JEST vehicle platform, we are delivering safe, efficient, and accessible automated transit at scale,” said Dr. Ali Peker, CEO of ADASTEC.

VEVOR Launches “Beat the Heat at Home” Summer Comfort Lineup for Outdoor Living

Published

on

By

HOUSTON, June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As summer temperatures climb, staying cool at home shouldn’t require a sky-high electric bill, a cooler full of gas-station ice, or a contractor booked out until September. A smarter approach is gaining traction among American families: investing in the right tools to make outdoor living genuinely comfortable without the premium price tag. VEVOR — a trusted home improvement brand serving over 30 million home creators worldwide — today launches “Beat the Heat at Home,” a summer comfort lineup featuring shade, ice-making, and airflow solutions that deliver pro-level performance so your backyard truly becomes the place to be this summer.

“Summer comfort is not only about staying cool — it is about making outdoor spaces easier to enjoy,” said Gavin Wu, Brand Director at VEVOR. “With this lineup, VEVOR brings pro-level performance into practical home scenarios, helping Home Creators upgrade their backyards, patios, garages, and hosting spaces at exceptional value.”

Cool Living, Cold Drinks, Total Comfort
For most families, a truly comfortable summer day comes down to three things: a shady spot, a steady supply of ice-cold drinks, and enough airflow to keep the evening from feeling stagnant. Traditional solutions — pergolas, commercial ice machines, wired-in fans — often cost thousands or require contractors.

To bridge this gap, VEVOR’s Annual Big Summer Sale officially introduces the “Beat the Heat” collection. Together, the lineup addresses three common summer comfort needs: shade, ice, and airflow, so every corner of the backyard is covered. By delivering pro-level performance in effortless, budget-friendly setups, VEVOR offers Home Creators the ultimate plug-and-play summer cooling experience, making premium seasonal comfort accessible right out of the box.

Create Shade in Minutes
There’s a specific moment every summer host knows too well: the sun shifts, the one shady corner disappears, and suddenly everyone is squinting, relocating chairs, or retreating indoors altogether. It’s the kind of small frustration that quietly ruins an otherwise perfect afternoon.

VEVOR’s Pop-Up Canopy Gazebo was designed for exactly that moment. Available in 10×10, 11.5×11.5, and 12×12 ft configurations, it turns any open stretch of lawn or driveway into a comfortable, shaded gathering space — and it does so in minutes — designed for tool-free setup from the start. The mesh sidewalls earn their keep once evening arrives: mosquitoes stay out while the breeze still flows through, which means dinner can linger as long as the conversation does.

It’s not a permanent structure, and that’s the point. When the season changes or the party moves, the canopy folds back down just as quickly. For homeowners who want shade on their terms, not on a contractor’s timeline, it offers a flexible alternative to permanent shade structures.

Never Run Out of Ice
Few things signal “this gathering is winding down” faster than reaching into a cooler and finding nothing but lukewarm water and half-melted slush. Bags of store-bought ice solve the problem temporarily, but anyone who has made two mid-party runs to the gas station knows the drill gets old fast.

VEVOR’s Commercial Ice Maker Machine helps home hosts keep up with high-demand summer gatherings. Producing up to 130 lbs of ice every 24 hours and holding 33 lbs in its built-in storage bin, it keeps pace with a full afternoon of refills — lemonade pitchers, cocktail shakers, coolers for the kids’ juice boxes, all of it. The stainless-steel build looks at home in a garage bar or outdoor kitchen, and one-touch self-cleaning means maintenance is measured in button presses, not scrub sessions.

Keep the Air Moving
Anyone who has spent a July evening on a covered porch knows the paradox: the roof blocks the sun, but it also traps every degree of rising heat with nowhere to go. The air sits heavy, the ceiling feels lower than it is, and even a beautiful outdoor space starts to feel like something you’d rather admire from behind a glass door with the AC running inside.

VEVOR’s 18-Inch Wall-Mount Fan was built for exactly these in-between spaces that central air can’t reach and a tabletop fan can’t handle. Three-speed settings push up to 4,150 CFM of airflow across patios, enclosed porches, workshops, and garage gyms. That’s the kind of serious air movement that makes a covered space feel open again. With ETL certification and weather-resistant construction, it is designed for covered or semi-outdoor spaces where moisture and humidity are common.

Mounted on the wall and out of the way, it doesn’t eat into floor space or crowd a table. For households looking to cut back on running central AC in every room all day, a well-placed fan in the spaces where the family actually gathers is often the simplest and most cost-effective first step.

The deals are live — don’t leave them on the table.
